RE: 30-40 Krag questions
Falcon -- 8mm
Thanks a bunch you guys!! I think this is the exact rifle that grandpa had.
Dave Andersons description of his grandpa's rifle is almost word for word the description I would use. Right down to the right down to the first shooting at age 11!
8mm i'm surethe pic in your last post shows the same action that is on this rifle, but the stock is different. Mine has more of a pistol grip with some worn down checkering (again like Mr. Anderson's).
Reading the Mr. Andersons account of the history of his rifle makes me wonder about the things mine has seen. I remember being at Grandpa's cabin in Leota, MI. Someone remarked that it was a pretty nice deer camp. Grandpa replied "yeah, but if it could talk, I'd have to burn it down."
No doubt his rifle had the same colorful past!
Thanks again
